Indeed. The version that's currently in `ports' has the following
comment in the Revisions file:
2.0

In order to use extra-long passwords with the Linux, changed
PASSLENGTH from 20 to 64. Thanks to <slouken@virtbrew.water.ca.gov>.
... so we are not alone with our long passwords. :-)
(Btw., the name of the package has been changed to `xlockmore', since
the original `xlock' is no longer maintained. In case you haven't
seen it yet, try again the `maze', `image' and `life' modi. :--)

any recent system -- and i usually to run `xload' within the
`GoodStuff' window of fvwm.

Seems to be fixed, too:
